This is a low-signal vendor radar item. Keep it as context only unless a later benchmark, deployment, procurement change, or labour-market datapoint turns it into direct Appendix III evidence.
Why it matters

# CopeCheck Capabilities Register Updated: 2026-07-16T00:00:00Z Status: live_evidence_active Question to ask a model: What do these capability claims mean for The Discontinuity Thesis? Interpretation rule: treat each entry as evidence about capability, deployment, workflow recomposition, labour-market exposure, or institutional framing. Do not treat vendor optimism as neutral; separate the measurable capability claim from the comfort language around it. ## GPT-5.5 Instant System Card Source: https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-5-instant-system-card Publisher: OpenAI Category: Vendor framing Sector: General AI capability Capability: Frontier model release and benchmark movement Score: 48/100 Claim: Official OpenAI release: GPT-5.5 Instant System Card.
